There is a longing inside my heart
It flutters so often, I don't know why
There is a longing inside my heart
It flutters so often, I don't know why
Isn't this a new taste brought on by youth?
Isn't this a desire blossoming in a young heart?
Even this flower spills its nectar when the bee arrives
Even the colorful peacock dances when it sees the rain
There is a longing inside my heart
It flutters so often, I don't know why
Ehey ehey, oho oho
Seeing the clouds, the peacock dances
Filled with longing, the bee seeks the flowers
Seeing the clouds, the peacock dances
Filled with longing, the bee seeks the flowers
Thinking that both are one and the same
Thinking that both are one and the same
Isn't this the age when the heart thinks of this every day?
There is a longing inside my heart
It flutters so often, I don't know why
Isn't this a new taste brought on by youth?
Isn't this a desire blossoming in a young heart?
Even this flower spills its nectar when the bee arrives
Even the colorful peacock dances when it sees the rain
There is a longing inside my heart
It flutters so often, I don't know why
Just like the flood that rushes down a river
A flood of joy flows within the heart
Just like the flood that rushes down a river
A flood of joy flows within the heart
Isn't this a new taste brought on by youth?
Isn't this a desire blossoming in a young heart?
Even this flower spills its nectar when the bee arrives
Even the colorful peacock dances when it sees the rain
